WELCOME Welcome to Local View 2012. In the pages that follow, we hope to give you an insight into the unique London property market and showcase a selection of the most beautiful London properties currently for sale and to rent with Knight Frank. The London market has performed surprisingly well during the first half of the year, despite the economic uncertainty that persists in the Eurozone and in many of the wider, global markets. The capital became the focus of the world during our Great British Summer and our London offices experienced a surprising level of activity throughout most of this period. Looking ahead, there appears to be a two stream market divided by the £2m stamp duty threshold. Below this level, the market is active, whilst above the threshold the market is patchy. The continued uncertainty surrounding how properties owned in company names, or bought by ‘non-natural persons’, will be treated, has put some Prime and Super Prime buyers into ‘wait and see mode’ until the government’s consultation document is released at the beginning of December 2012. Despite this, London continues to attract interest from overseas investors, and the capital remains the number one destination in which to live, in the minds of many individuals from around the world. Knight Frank has continued to invest in its network, both in London and overseas. We have opened new offices in Islington and Marylebone, and the Riverside team has moved to a spectacular office at Albion Riverside. The team now covers the Battersea sales and rental markets. Overseas we have opened offices in Dubai, Qatar, Calcutta and South Africa, thus extending our reach to capture buyers and tenants from around the world. I trust you will enjoy reading the articles contained within this edition of Local View and leafing through the many pages of wonderful properties that our clients have asked us to find buyers or tenants for. If you see any properties that interest you or if you would like advice on any property matter then please do not hesitate to get in touch with any one of our offices.

LONDON SALES MARKET SALES MARKET BY NUMBERS
Prime central London prices rise by
0.7% in September
Monthly growth pushes annual rise to
10% Quarterly pace of growth slows to
1.7%
September saw another month of positive growth in the prime central London residential market. Prices have now risen 51% since the post-financial crisis low in March 2009.
Average prime property values in central London now stand at a new record high, some 15% above their pre-crisis peak in March 2008.
The sub £2m bracket is also where price growth has been strongest, with an annual increase of 11.6%. Despite the weaker transaction volumes in the £2m-£5m bracket, the number of prospective buyers has been fairly evenly matched with available properties across all price bands. It is worth noting however that over the last six months, stock volumes have slowly begun to creep upwards, and are now around 10% higher than in September last year.
This growth in prices has taken place despite the impact of the March budget’s 40% rise in the top rate of stamp duty together with new, and still undefined, rules for an annual charge on £2m+ properties held in certain ownership structures and the reform of non-resident capital gains tax rules. But the budget tax changes have had an undeniable impact on activity levels in the market, with the volume of sales in the £2m-£5m sector falling 20% in the three months to September compared to the same period in 2011. Sales volumes above this bracket have been more robust, and there has also been a strong 23% rise in sales volumes for homes worth up to £2m.
London’s market performance continues to be aided by overseas buyers, who account for 41% of buyers in the £1m+ prime London sector, and more than 50% of buyers in the £2m+ market. This overseas demand is driven by Russian, Indian, Italian, US and French buyers – reflecting the diversity of the market.

LONDON RENTAL MARKET RENTAL MARKET BY NUMBERS
Prime London rents fall
0.1% in September
Annual rental values fall
2.3% on an annual basis
Flats marginally outperform houses - falling respectively
2.0%
and
3.1%
over the past year
Like sales prices, prime rents have recovered rapidly since the market downturn in 2008-09, and are now nearly 25% higher than they were in mid-2009. Unlike capital values, rents hit a ceiling in October 2011 and have since declined, albeit marginally, by 2%. The main factor weighing on rents has been the state of the London economy. A bounce in activity in 2010 and 2011 saw London’s gross value added (GVA) measure of economic activity climb by an annual 1.9% and 1.7% respectively. But by the end of 2011 the economy was slowing as the Eurozone crisis put downward pressure on growth, confidence and recruitment, and the current estimate for London’s fullyear 2012 GVA growth stands a little below 1%. This weakness can be seen in data from Morgan McKinley, which confirmed that in terms of new employment vacancies in central London, 2012 is far underperforming the picture seen in both 2010 and 2011. The figures show that 2012 is in fact running a close race with 2009 to be the worst year for new vacancies since Morgan McKinley started recording this data in 2004. As a result we shouldn’t therefore be too surprised that rents have moved down over the past nine months.
But while rents may be performing below trend, activity has risen, with new lettings volumes in the first half of 2012 22% higher than the same period in 2011 in prime central London. This increase in activity reflects a broader shift in favour of the rental sector across the UK, due to the lack of mortgage market funding for new entrants in the owner-occupier market. For landlords this trend should permit above-inflation rental rises over the medium term, potentially helping to halt the long-term decline in income returns on prime residential investment. While gross yields of 3.5% have become more common in central London, investors’ attention is on total returns, which have averaged 11.4% annually over the last three years.

The market: A busy August and September period in all price sectors has corrected any oversupply issues. Clients who choose not to focus on presentation or whose pricing expectations are too high leave themselves exposed to void periods. Our outlook: Landlords delivering turnkey or newly refurbished properties can expect to achieve optimum rents. With a lack of supply in the super prime market, we still expect rents in this section of the market to perform well. Who rents here: We have an internationally diverse tenant base with applicants becoming increasingly younger.

SALES OVERVIEW
SALES BY NUMBERS
The market: Despite consistent demand, there has been a lack of available stock of family houses, which has led to little activity on this front. There is a huge appetite for turnkey apartments priced under £2m from both domestic and international buyers. Our outlook: We don’t see any reason why the high level of demand for properties under £2m will drop off, but because of uncertainty over government policy on ‘mansion tax’ and capital gains tax, the upper end of the market may prove to be slower. Who buys here: Predominantly domestic and Western European buyers, but we have also had buyers from South Africa and China.

Over the past 12 months we have sold to 20 different nationalities, from Greeks and Americans to Russians and Lebanese. Our outlook: Demand for apartments and family houses is greater than supply and we predict that this trend will continue throughout 2012. Over the last six months prices have increased by 5.6% in Kensington and we predict further growth this year. Who buys here: Families are attracted to the green spaces and good schools, while young professionals appreciate the pubs, clubs and restaurants.

Our team in action:
This house was on the market for over a year with another estate agent for an ambitious price. Once we were instructed our global network brought it to the attention of a French family who were relocating to London who subsequently bought it.
SALES INSIGHT
“We have seen a surge in demand for family properties with four or five bedrooms and investment flats priced under £2m. Buyers are increasingly analytical and wary of overpaying. The worst mistake a vendor can make is pricing before taking professional advice.” Mark Redfern Head of Sales

The market: The core market continues to perform well, however, we have noticed a decrease in corporate budgets in the mid-range. The house market continues to perform well with families attracted to the green spaces, good schools, culture and transport links. Our outlook: There are some exciting new developments coming up in the next few years, ranging from the De Vere development to the Holland Park School. Smaller portfolio landlords continue to raise their game, which has led to some good quality and new records being set for price. Who rents here: International students, families and professionals relocating for work or study opportunities.

We valued a mansion flat on Gloucester Walk in Kensington for a lady looking to downsize. We sourced a long-term tenant for her before the property was even marketed, agreed a schedule of works that increased the weekly rent and organised a smaller flat for her.

“The best thing to happen for the market would be for mortgage lending to investor landlords to ease. I expect to see a moderate growth in overall demand but a pretty flat line as far as rents are concerned due to affordability constraints.”

We sold a Knightsbridge property to a client in 2008. He asked us to resell it in 2010 as he was moving to Switzerland. Within one hour we had arranged for the client to meet with our Swiss office in Geneva and recommended a tax advisor for planning the move. Prior to marketing the property we arranged for it to be redressed and within a couple of months it sold.

The market: There has been demand at all levels from one bedroom flats to exclusive three bedroom apartments in One Hyde Park and from three bedroom townhouses to large family houses. Our outlook: The summer months have been busy in the Knightsbridge lettings market and the oversupply of stock that we had six months ago has steadily dwindled. This, combined with the increasing volume of deals should mean rental levels may start to rally again. Who rents here: The end of the summer coming into autumn has seen demand from families relocating at the start of the new academic year and from international students.

Best known for: Its diversity, the Notting Hill Carnival (Europe’s largest street party), Portobello Road market (a mecca for bargain hunters), its bohemian vibe and charm and, of course, the iconic movie Notting Hill (starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts). Boroughs: Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, City of Westminster Area: Notting Hill is a wonderful balance of peace and tranquility combined with the buzz and excitement of the city. Residents are attracted to the ‘bohemian-meets-cool’ atmosphere and the diverse mix of people and places, from the magical and idyllic garden squares, to the boutiques and café culture of Westbourne Grove and the hustle and bustle of Portobello Road and Notting Hill Gate. Social and cultural attractions: Notting Hill is home to Europe’s largest street party – the Notting Hill Carnival. The huge range of bars, gastropubs and award-winning restaurants means you can experience excellent food and drink from all corners of the globe. The Electric Cinema and the Coronet show the latest blockbusters, while The Gate Picturehouse caters for those looking for something a little more arthouse. Other attractions include The Museum of Brands Packaging and Advertising and The 20th Century Theatre. Sports and leisure facilities: As well as having many beautiful communal gardens, Notting Hill is close to the wide open spaces of Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens and Holland Park. Holland Park is renowned for its Kyoto Garden, sports facilities and picturesque walk to Kensington High Street. There are also a number of cycling routes, sports clubs, yoga and pilates centres. Our favourite places: The Ledbury, a restaurant with two Michelin stars; The Oak, for wood-fired pizzas; Granger & Co, courtesy of Australian celebrity chef Bill Granger; E&O, for pan-Asian cuisine and inventive cocktails; Hummingbird Bakery, for exquisite cupcakes; Assaggi, for wonderful Italian dining tucked away on a cobbled mews; Julie’s, regarded as the ‘rock chic’ restaurant of the world; Dock Kitchen in W10, a waterside restaurant; Jamie Oliver’s new venture Recipease, which has just opened on Notting Hill Gate; and for arguably the best coffee in town go to The Grocer on Elgin Crescent and seek out Samir.

SOUTH KENSINGTON AREAS COVERED SW7 SW5
Best known for: Museums, Royal Albert Hall, Imperial College, Royal Academy of Music and the Lycée school. Borough: Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Area: South Kensington is London’s museum heartland and attracts over 11 million visitors every year. Exhibition Road, at the heart of the area, recently benefitted from significant refurbishment. The area has a distinct Parisian vibe and the renowned local French school, Lycée Francais Charles de Gaulle de Londres, is a big pull for the many French residents. Social and cultural attractions: Numerous venues include the Natural History Museum, Science Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, Royal Albert Hall, National Geographic Society and Royal Academy of Music. Sports and leisure facilities: Residents of South Kensington benefit from proximity to Hyde Park – home to the Serpentine Lake with its outdoor swimming club and boating activities, a tennis club, gardens and open spaces. The park also hosts a number of events throughout the year from Winter Wonderland to open-air concerts in the summer. Our favourite places: The Hummingbird Bakery, a renowned cake shop on the Old Brompton Road; and Jia, a Dim Sum restaurant close to South Kensington tube.
Getting around: South Kensington, Gloucester Road, Sloane Square, Earls Court, West Brompton, West Brompton, Imperial Wharf

SALES OVERVIEW
SALES BY NUMBERS
The market: Properties that are priced under £2m have remained in high demand and South Kensington remains a popular area for international buyers to come, both to live and invest. Our outlook: We are seeing more stock becoming available but the number of new buyers to the market is showing some signs of slowing. So whilst we sense there will be a levelling off of prices, we don’t think there is cause to panic. Who buys here: Western Europeans, but we have recently sold properties to people from as far afield as Bermuda.

Our team in action:
The owners of this house had bought this through us and refurbished it beautifully. When they decided it was time to move out, they asked us to sell. After 73 viewings, the house was sold and our clients then bought a new house through our Esher office.
SALES INSIGHT
“The most exciting emerging hotspot in this locality is the Gardens area. The best thing to happen to the market would be for more two bedroom turnkey apartments priced at under £2m to come on to the market.” James Pace Head of Sales

LETTINGS OVERVIEW
LETTINGS BY NUMBERS
The market: We have a strong demand for turnkey immaculate properties that always receive a positive reception and secure tenants within a short time frame at healthy prices. Current rents are healthy with new lettings volumes in the last three months 18% higher than the same period in 2011. Our outlook: Our view is that the current weakness in headline rental growth is not evidence of a wider downturn in demand from tenants. Pricing remains historically high and we see no ‘shift change’ in pricing on the horizon. Who buys here: We have a historically strong demand from French nationals looking to take advantage of the excellent Lycée School in SW7.

Our team in action:
Having suffered a devastating fire at their property on Barkston Gardens, our client asked us to find a four bedroom, fully furnished property for at least a year whilst his home was refurbished. 24 hours later we had settled the family into a beautiful mews house, fully furnished and with broadband up and running.
LETTINGS INSIGHT “My typical renter is often a high net worth family or individual with more than one fixed abode globally. International tenants want advice on local amenities, schooling and transport links. The worst mistake a landlord can make is to over personalise the presentation of a property.”
